EARLY SUMMER RAIN
Kevin Welch


   G                  D  
 I dream with my eyes open
   G                D
 I see with my eyes closed
   G                  Bm 
 I watch through many windows
A
 Heaven only knows
      G                    D
 Some words, they can’t be spoken
      G                 Bm
 Some things can’t be explained
D                  G                              D
 Out where it gets lonesome, in the early summer rain

G                     D
 Black crow, he’s the joker
 G                   D
 Red-tail hawk’s the king
 G                     Bm
 Diamondback, he’s the taxman
 A
 He don’t miss a thing
     G                   D
 Out where there’s no forgiveness
     G                 Bm
 Out where there is no blame
 D                 G
 Out where it gets lonesome
                     D
 In the early summer rain


Chorus
         A
 There’s wind down in these ditches
 G
 There’s red dust on the rye
              D                G
 But, there’s storms up on the ridges
           D
 There’s a silver tear in my eyes
 A
 All I know is you my friend
 G
 Will not see my pain
D                  G
 Out where it gets lonesome
                     D   G
 In the early summer rain


 There’s a red flying horse by the roadside
 Spreading his wings again
 Me and him are gonna take a little ride
 I hope we catch a good tail wind
 Take me to the purple mountains
 Where nobody knows my name
 Out where it gets lonesome
 In the early summer rain

Repeat Chorus

 A                            G
 All I know is you my friend, will not see my pain
 D                 G                             D  G  D
 Out where it gets lonesome, in the early summer rain
